And since bail is generally set at the discretion of a judge (I’m sure some jurisdictions have limitations, and others just “guidelines”), it can be increased based on the perceived heinousness of the crime or in some cases outright denied entirely.

Uh-huh. Which uses Mozilla’s renderer. So, all those upstream commits in Libewolf’s code base are coming from where, exactly?

Just so we have this straight, this is the same dickwhistle who signed an executive order to forcibly clear out homeless people and encampments, right?

There’s no need to wait. Just switch to Firefox now. All the cool kids have already done it.

Nah, man. I point a Betamax camcorder on a tripod at my 4K, 16bpp graphics workstation monitor to make sure I really capture all those pixels.

Morons don’t even understand that toilet paper is domestically produced, not imported, so a dockworker’s strike would have fuck-all impact on the supply of it anyway.

It seems braindead simple to me to work some controls into an industrial scale solar array to manage its output by regulating its input. Like, rotating the panels to put them out of their optimal alignment with the sun or mechanically partially covering them with shutters.

This is obviously in the context of attempting to mitigate global warming, which was caused by… you guessed it, mostly fossil fuel use.

Nobody is proposing blocking out the sun like Mr. Burns. More like reflecting a tiny percentage of solar radiation to prevent our oceans from boiling or once-in-a-century superstorms that, oh I don’t know, flood the mountains of Tennessee from becoming yearly occurrences.

Bethesda was obviously already toast to anyone paying attention when Fallout '76 came out. They certainly haven’t improved since.

…And I can’t believe that these are the motherfuckers who own the rights to Doom now.

How many beers is too many? We don’t know since that’s different for everyone- but we all agree at some point, it’s too many.

This is literally exactly how it works, though. There is a legal percentage threshold of blood alcohol content wherein it becomes illegal. The line there is drawn. And although where it is drawn is specific, it’s not in the same place, on a state-by-state basis.

This is simple: Keep your hands off my guns, quit picking on transgender people, and leave my porn alone.

Easy. I ought to be on the supreme court. Think of the payroll savings if you just fired all nine of those motherfuckers.

Interesting, re: the spam theory.

I do know that some of my dinkum posts on here are among the first page results for whatever the object in question is, but I’m not sure if that’s due to Google somehow deciding it’s a highly relevant match or if it’s just because some of this crap is so damn niche that there isn’t any other content on it.

For example, this, where I’m result #2 only after the Amazon product page. Or this, where I’m #7. Also #7 here. For this I’m result #2 which is above Walmart’s listing for their own product.

Okay, okay, this one is almost a Googlewhack, but I’m occupying both spots #5 and #6 even if you just search for the alleged “manufacturer’s” name. Admittedly, out of only 6 results to begin with. If you add “knife” to the query I rise to position #4.

…And yet others don’t appear in search results at all. So I can’t say I have any idea how the fuck Google’s search results work.

…Anything written in English, and you can usually filter that even more by just looking for people using too many U’s.

* Rather, a program superficially imitating the first level of Doom is able to run on a simulator of a quantum computer.

Not to diminish this accomplishment, but based on the level geometry on display there this is obviously a bespoke but very basic 3D-ish engine, extremely simplified, built from the ground up to do this and is not an actual source port of Doom before anybody gets too excited.

While it’s amusing I don’t think it really serves to illustrate too well the actual exciting parts of what quantum computing is actually theoretically capable of. Regular old boring Turing-compatible binary computers are already perfectly capable of running Doom already. ^{[citation needed]}

I have to imagine that when some c-level suit saw that term in his moth-eaten copy of “Social Media for Dummies,” I don’t think it was intended to be taken quite so flagrantly visibly literally…

Manufacturers absolutely do make only-for-sale-in-California-variant cars. Motorcycles, also. They’re not as common as they used to be because emissions laws elsewhere are also starting to become as stringent as the CARB rules these days as well, so it’s becoming more cost effective to just make everything the “California version.”

Throughout the early 2000’s, the distinction was much more relevant. The last vehicle I had to work on that I know for a fact to be a “California version” was a 2014 KLR650. It has additional (unreliable…) emissions control equipment that is not present on otherwise identical bikes from the same model year that were not intended for sale in California.

Furthermore, California will refuse to plate any vehicle that does not specifically have a California compliant emissions certification if it has fewer than 7500 miles on it, i.e. if it is new. Those that don’t meet California’s standards are labeled “49 state” vehicles.

That, and the Internet has been teaching people how to create bombs since the dial-up days. I don’t predict that LLM’s will be either a benefit or a detriment to that particular strain of natural selection.

Neat.

I haven’t dug into the docs much. This really does return vectors? Because all of the OSM servers and services I have seen return tiles that are bitmaps, which for the type of data being displayed always seemed like a rather moronic way to do it.

You did, at least eventually. This could be argued to be a very early, not to mention analog, form of enshittification.
